Doctors and public health officials unanimously believe that the 2009-2010 flu season will be more aggressive and far more widespread than anything witnessed for many years. Employers are already being encouraged to develop contingency plans.
John Leonard has developed a rapid response program, the H1N1 SWAT TEAM, specifically designed to meet employers' critical staffing needs in the event of an outbreak within their organization.
Here's how it works....
Step I:
Senior representatives from John Leonard will meet with designated client decision makers to:
- Perform an in-depth evaluation of a client's staffing profile
- Identify critical skills/jobs without which the organizations productivity will be negatively impacted
- Establish parameters for building a client's tailor-made H1N1 SWAT TEAM
Step II:
Each client will be assigned a John Leonard Team Manager as liaison between the client and the H1N1 SWAT TEAM member(s) assigned to the client.
Step III:
The Team Manager will be responsible for putting together the H1N1 SWAT TEAM based on the specific needs of the client:
- Assign the best talent available for each of the critical skills/jobs identified in the initial meeting with the client
- Allocate each temporary representative to a primary and secondary H1N1 SWAT TEAM to cover absences and avoid under usage of a valuable resource.
- Each H1N1 SWAT TEAM will be comprised of a primary and an alternate team member to ensure speedy mobilization.
Step IV:
Once the H1N1 SWAT TEAM is mobilized, the Team Manager will:
- Be on site at the start of the first day to ensure a smooth assimilation into the client's environment.*
- Maintain daily contact via phone and/or email to address client's needs/concerns.
- If necessary, arrange a replacement for a team member within 24 hours of the request being made.
*Applies to the mobilization of 5 or more team members simultaneously
